I sort of always though of Kermit as a reporter but also as just Kermit as he did more then that.

Yep. And that statement--taken from the opening of the news reports--proves as much.

You are to the only one to noitice this. It does seem unusual for Kermit to be hanging out in their apartment. But I like it anyway!
I said it seemed odd, Ilikemuppets, I didn't say I didn't like it. It was nice to see Kermit actually had a relationship with the grown-ups before Jim Henson had more projects to worry about. And he actually worked well with Gordon, Susan and Bob too. I wonder if he would have worked as well with Roscoe Orman. Side note, Matt Robinson was not the Gordon I watched as a boy, Orman was, but after seeing Robinson's Gordon, I think he was the best.

Kermit's worked with more than one Gordon, considering he started on the Street first before going to The Muppet Show.

i am really looking forward to geting these at some point i really loved watching it , when i could in the 80s , it was really one of those things where you felt like that you where there with TV friends the same way that is still now for most of us who still watch it .

I mean like it was said that Kermit hanging out with the adults it was so cool .
I hope that they bring kermit back on to our faverite street :smile::wink:

Disney owns Kermit now, so he'd have to go through the Disney channel before he could appear in non-Disney, yet Muppet-related projects again.
